man had to go to page three to excavate this thread.
aired up some tires tonight and hawged a few laps around the property tonight at speed.
planned rear diff inspection and fix a slow leaking cover- found 3rd pinion bearing support in the 14 bolt smooshed over to the side. all else looks good preload wise and gearset wise in the diff.
front has a broken diff cover bolt so that got pulled also, all looks well in the front. will get an 1/8 turn on the king pin preload and new gear oil. found some sweet cracks just about all the way around the truss near 3link loading. will get a grind and weld and 2 small triangles added.
lube and fuel and good to go.
